TIE SEASON FOR BLACK BASS FISHING.


There seems to be misunderstanding on the part OF
great many anglers In regard to the open season Tor
black bass especially to whether they can fish for
them legally Decoration Day Tho law Is clear and
plain that they do In the general waters OF the
State. There some exceptions In specified waters
The open season specifically Is as follows: .
In Lake Mahopac, in the waters or COLUMBIA county,
in schroon Lake or River. In Paradox Lake, Ia che
waters and Warren, In Friends Lake, In warren
County, or in the waters OF skaneatees Lake, In the
counties Onondaga and Cayuga fishing for black bass
is only legal between the first day OF July and the first
day OF January. This would include the first day Of
July, but the first OF January.
In Lake George and in Brant Lake. in Warren County,
the open season is between the first day or August
(which IL includes) and the first day OF January.
In the Lawrence Clyde, Seneca and Oswego rivers,
Lake Erie, Lake ontario. Lake C0nesus anu Niagara
River above Niagara Falls on the American side the
open Is between the 2Oth day OF May whlch IL
includes) and the first day OF January
In all other waters of the State the season Is from the
Goth day May (which incudes and the first day OF
January. a,
The open season was changed one year ago from the
first day OF June the Both day OF May in order to
allow people to fish on Decoration Day. IL should be
understood that the law specifies the close season. and
not the open Thus, specifies that II sa not
legal fish from the first day OF January to the 3oth
day of Nav.
